Around the third day, we drove up to Franz Josef to the glaciers. We didn't get the guided walks that you can take and actually walk on the glaciers, but we did get close enough for a good view. The Franz Josef glacier is pictured here in the distance. We were able to get closer to Fox Glacier. Karen and George almost got close enough to touch it. I headed back with Jacqueline and Meghan earlier.
On the fourth day, we drove down to a town called Wanaka. We really enjoyed our stay here. We visited Puzzling World and had a blast!
When you first entered the place, it was like a cafe and it had different types of puzzles at each table. There was a room full of holograms that was really cool. They also had a room full of faces that looked like they were following you. It was the neatest thing! Look carefully at the picture below. Notice Karen is actually bigger than George!
Next, we went into the room of illusions. It was difficult to gain perspective as to how you were standing. There was a pool table that if you set a ball at one end, it appeared to roll up the table. There was also a water pipe that had water flowing in an upward direction.
From here, we went out to the maze. We probably spent at least two hours trying to find the four corners and then find our way out. It was a lot of fun.
